I came back to the Executive today. The sweet spot is getting easier to find and keep and the shave continues to improve. Very nice, very smooth, and very close shave today with just slightly more touch up than usual.

Shave 2 of my 30 day straight challenge. I didn't shave yesterday, and it worked out better because my growth is not very heavy. The hot towel prep has earned a spot in my permanent pre-shave routine, and soap commander performed great. I did get some minor irritation directly under my chin, but it should clear up soon. Overall, I'm really happy with the results, and I look forward to more great shaves. Have a good one gents.
Slim Adjustable set to 9 Ladas Blade Le Pere Lucien Face Lathered 3 passes LPL makes a wonderful lather. In fact, it was so nice today that I will try it again tomorrow.
Razor: Gillette Executive Fat Boy F-1 1960 (7) Blade: Personna Platinum (3) Brush: WDC-5 Boar Knot (Whipped Dog) Green handle (Whipped Dog) Soap: Sterling Soap Company Cool Decanter: Old Spice Cannon Product ID#4356 1973 A/S: Old Spice I don't know why I don't use this soap and brush more often. I find that Stirling Soap whips up much easier with a stiffer brush. This soap produces and outstanding slick lather. BBS tonight. 3 passes.
Glass bottle of Pinuad and a Gillette President. Doesn't get much better than that. Great flick to boot.
Wednesday will feature these items: Neutrogena Men Facial Wash Large Horsehair Barbershop Super Speed/Astra day 3 Ingram Blue SC Lucky Tiger AS Cream Alt Innsbruck AS Drakkar Noir EdT Nice and chilly stuff for my shave. The Ingram Blue cream, as I call it is from Egypt and as you can see it looks almost the same as the original UK version. It lathers better, has the same great scent, but it has stronger menthol cooling. That Lucky Tiger stuff is unreal - it's so cooling, refreshing, and soothing. I'm wild about the Alt Innsbruck - what a scent and does it ever freeze like a maniac. These Astras are excellent blades. They're sharp, smooth, as well as very forgiving.
Yep, me far right on the way to Hue up the Perfume River during Tet offensive 1968. Hell of a battle, my second tour. My son far left just before he shipped out to Afghanistan 2006. Fortunately we both came back, sort of. Thank you for your kind words.
It was a great photo in it's own right but made even more special by the back story. Thank you both for your service.
